Booktalk: This picture book about mindfulness follows a girl through her school day as she listens to sounds across the city: caws of crows, shouts across the playground, and finally, the quiet beating of her heart and whispered goodnights.

Paper Planes

Booktalk: Mia and Ben are the very best of friends. They live side by side at the edge of a great, wide lake and together they sail, and swing, and sing. But the thing they love the most is making paper planes. They dream of one day being able to make a plane that will fly all the way across the lake, and their planes become more and more intricate.

But one day: terrible news. Ben’s family is moving far, far away. How can Mia and Ben stay best friends if they are so far apart? And how will they ever realize their dream of making a plane that can fly across their lake?

Snippet:
They promised to never
forget one another,
and they swapped planes
as they said their good-byes.
